Congratulations goes out to Fools Gold Records for being named one of the Indie Visionaries in the latest issue of Billboard Magazine.

Thanks to acts like Kid Sister, independent label Fool’s Gold is making inroads in monetizing hipster-hyped music. The label was co-founded in April 2007 by DJ Nick Catchdubs and Kanye West’s DJ, A-Trak, and has since grown to a roster of 15 artists whose active touring habits are perfect for keeping the party going.

Sensing a void in the marketplace, A-Trak and Catchdubs were at first simply looking to distribute music they’d heard in their electro-hip-hop-pop club circuit. Inspired by boutique labels like Nervous and Sleeping Bag, they began releasing singles and EPs digitally and on vinyl.
